Shell preparing three Louisiana oil refineries for approaching Hurricane Delta

Royal Dutch Shell Plc’s oil refineries in Convent, Geismar and Norco, Louisiana, are monitoring and preparing responses to the threat from Hurricane Delta, the company said.

Delta struck the Yucatan peninsula as a Category 2 hurricane earlier Wednesday and is expected to enter the Gulf of Mexico and strengthen. It will approach the U.S. Gulf Coast on the weekend as a Category 3 storm with winds of up to 130 miles per hour (209 kmh), the National Hurricane Center said.
